I really liked this. As a two-part episode on its own it was great, and as a season finale it was great as well. I'm bummed about Alex leaving as I really like her character, so hopefully she'll still pop up now and then. At least her leaving was her choice and for a good reason, and there weren't any stupid shenanigans like faking deaths or being shipped off to the state department.

I can believe the whole force or most of it being in on corruption, especially in a smaller town. A police chief or sheriff, I forget which, was arrested in a nearby town years ago for running drugs. It wasn't exactly a surprise, either, practically an open secret. When you mix small town ties, money, and authority, it's always a recipe for corruption thicker than molasses.
